i've just come off a two-year effort, made seven separate requests to get the obama administration to release these previously secret legal analyses which offer the justification for the drone debate. the reason i went to the floor today, i thought it was an opportune time to try to show that there is a new effort by both progressives and conservatives to try to show that in our country, it's possible both to protect our liberties and at the same time ensure that we're vigilant against the very real threats that are out there. >> it seems like the occasion of john brennan's nomination has brought about a bunch of stuff that we now know, or at least that you know as a senator that we were not able to know before. we saw, first, reported by nbc's michael isikoff a summary of legal reasoning by the administration on killing americans abroad with the drone program. we also then saw released to the intelligence committee a couple office of legal council memos on the same subject. then more memos on the same subject released to the intelligence committee. it seems like things are going in t

for example, when the obama administration passed the recovery act, the stimulus back in '09, they simultaneously launched recovery.gov, a website where you can track all the recovery dollars with a click of a mouse, instead of going down to the treasury department or wherever to pore through the documents. so there is often a lag. but government usually embraces the new technology of the day, eventually, especially when it comes to communicating information about how the government works. the key word there, though, is usually there is one very big part of our government, one coequal branch of our government, in fact, that has stubbornly decided that it will fall behind in that area on purpose. what you're looking at here is the supreme court hearing this week on the voting rights act. and this is actually all i can show you of it, drawings. i mean, they're great drawings, but drawings. that's all we get. we get no still photos, certainly no video. only 18th century technology is welcome. it was not until today, two days after the actual arguments that the supreme court finally got around to pos

the whole original idea, part of the critique of the bush administration when president obama was elected, was that everybody should go on trial. even khalid shaikh mohammed should go on trial. >> right. >> those plans were thwarted by congress freaking out about it. mostly republicans but some democrats too. are we past that now? are we past like the cheney era in republican politics looking at this filibuster yesterday -- >> well, let me say this. if people are serious about bringing these people -- these terrorists to justice, we should be because article 3 courts, civilian courts are the most effective way to bring them to trial and to bring them to justice and to do it swiftly. that's what happened with the times square bomber here, the underwear bomber in detroit. i think there have been 67 successful prosecutions since 9/11 in the civilian courts. only seven in military tribunals. so if your interest is in bringing the terrorists to justice, this is the most efficiency way to do it. >> it was thwarted before, though, by congress freaking out. >> it was. >> including some democrats

president obama takes over, right, during the great recession. so this is the valley of corporate despair. but since then, corporate profits have just gone up and up and up. for a hot minute last summer, the financial press warned us that the fun was over, that record corporate profits would not last, but after that, hey, look, they lasted, and then some. by the december report, we hit a new new record. corporate profits at a new all-time high. by the latest quarter for which we've got the data. america's corporations showed in that quarter the largest after-tax profit in the history of our nation. right? the problem with that is that success is not necessarily redounding to the humans who make up our nation. here is a really big issue for our country. here is what corporate profits have been doing over time, four decades, basically over my lifeline. that's the red line there. and the blue line there is how working american humans have done at the same time. this is their slice of the pie. one is going up, and that is not helping the other one go
